The platform announced the new feature on Aug. 22, and hopes it will have a positive impact on the crypto community.

Recently, the Waves team also launched a new gateway with support for Vostok and Ergo tokens.

High hopes for the feature

The Waves team is also aiming to attract new traders and assets to the platform. The post also promises:

“Soon, you will see new trading pairs with ERC-20 tokens. Last year, we conducted voting for listing ERC-20 token. Bancor (BNT) won the voting and became the first candidate for listing on Waves DEX. So, we made it. [...] The next asset that can be added via gateway is ETH. Then, we will add BTC support. It is scheduled for September.”

According to Coin360, the price for the WAVES token — which was $1.31 at publication time — is up 1.61% over the past 24 hours. It is currently the 48th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

not sure what I should think about this "high hope"-feature... I´m already "blessed" with tons of worthless Waves-based shittokens (via airdrop), and soon I´ll receive many more worthless ERC20-shittokens?

48 largest is not enticing. I personally don't go for anything below above 20

I think this is great, we will have access to more ERC-20 trading pairs, the market will decide which coins are worthless. Normally the market does a pretty good you with that. I'm hoping to see more coins like matic and fleta on waves.
